I am not trying hard at all. A judge and jury have ruled. They may be victims, but that does not necessarily mean there was a crime and that they did not play a large part in their own demise.

Again, patterns of stupid and aggressive behavior in all these cases. Try for a moment to put yourself in the position of a police officer. It is not a video game where you get second chances after someone stabs you in the neck or shoots you.

Pretty much my point in its entirety.

Yes. I think he's right in the fact that most of these do end in in Ice t verdicts because there is a lot of leeway for police. And in most cases there's an element of a potential for harm which police currently approach with extreme prejudice.

Where we will differ is that he thinks this is fine. I think this shows there needs to be a different way/approach.

i think you have to take the single incident as it is. unless the cop(s) involved knew that that person had a violent past. you can't just throw any past info at it, to try to make something stick.

I'm not entirely convinced Foo wouldn't be a fan of a bible-thumping John Doe-filled police force

Foo's argument is nonsensical, 20/20 hindsight kind of thinking. That cop didn't know a single thing about Castile before he shot him. It's okay because it turns out he's been pulled over a lot? I get pulled over 2-3 times a year, never really considered the possibility that it justifies me being killed.

It wasn't meant as a jab, but there is nuance and gray to this shit.

I don't even think Philando Castile would qualify for John Doe's list. Smokes pot and possibly not a great driver. That's literally me.

I'm sure they don't see nuance in my posts. Irresponsibly pawn it off as cop hating? Oh definitely.

If Foo was a cop he would have shot you ages ago, bro.

Innocence doesn't exist in a vacuum. So what is the crime we're retroactively putting him on trial for by justifying his killing?

You have no idea how lucky I am that police around UCLA had the sense to let us just be kids. I've walked out of some pretty compromising situations. Roll down the window, weed smoke comes rushing out into the cop's face kinda compromising.
